Services & Information

We take this opportunity to inform you that in order to complete on a property purchase in Spain, the local authorities have advised Atlas International that it is compulsory for clients to obtain an NIE number / Certificate (Numero de Identidad de Extranjero) and for the original of this number to be presented at the notary for the signing of the property.

The NIE number will identify clients as non nationals and who have financial interest in Spain, such as property purchase, tax payments / declarations.

The NIE number / Certificates are only valid for 3 months after which a new valid certificate is required, to avoid reapplying for another certificate we strongly recommend that application are processed as close to the completion date as possible, Atlas International can assist with these application.

Water & Electricity

Most new constructed properties are initially handed over on builder’s supply of water and electricity with connection to the main supply conducted at a later stage when the urbanisation is complete, in some cases the builder does not provide this service but Atlas International will help in these matters.

For all legal matters relating to your property purchase Atlas International strongly recommends that you appoint an independent Spanish speaking solicitor.
